More quotes by Orson Welles
Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.
Orson Welles
If you've noticed that I don't use long takes, it's not because I don't like them, but because no one gives me the necessary means to treat myself to them. It's more economical to make one image, then this image and then that image, and try to control them later, in the editing studio.
Orson Welles
Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck.
Orson Welles
The cinema has no boundary it is a ribbon of dream.
Orson Welles
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
Orson Welles
I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
Orson Welles
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Orson Welles
One should make movies innocently - the way Adam and Eve named the animals, their first day in the garden. Learn from your own interior vision of things, as if there had never been a D.W.Griffith, or a Eisenstein, or a [John] Ford, or a [Jean] Renoir, or anybody.
Orson Welles
I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers - because males have got to try and justify their existence.
Orson Welles
Hollywood is a gold-plated suburb suitable for golfers, gardeners, assorted middlemen, and contented movies stars. I am none of these things.
Orson Welles
Fake is as old as the Eden tree.
Orson Welles
The most personal thing I've put in [Touch of Evil] is my hatred of the abuse of police power. It's better to see a murderer go free than for a policeman to abuse his power.
Orson Welles
Nobody who takes on anything big and tough can afford to be modest.
Orson Welles
They teach anything in universities today. You can major in mud pies.
Orson Welles
Personally, I don't like a girlfriend to have a husband. If she'll fool her husband, I figure she'll fool me.
Orson Welles
Gluttony is not a secret vice.
Orson Welles
What's happening now is what happened before, and often what's going to happen again sometime or other
Orson Welles
The best thing commercially, which is the worst artistically, by and large, is the most successful.
Orson Welles
The essential is to excite the spectators. If that means playing Hamlet on a flying trapeze or in an aquarium, you do it.
Orson Welles
Everybody denies I am a genius - but nobody ever called me one!
Orson Welles
